DescriptionA collection of miscellaneous portraits of unidentified sitters, including men, women, and children of all ages as well as a dog; several pictures are group portraits with one appearing to be from a theatrical production, and several pictures have postage stamps on the back of them. Several of the sitters are in elaborate studio settings in elaborate costume. One girl is pictured sitting on a tree-stump in a woodland setting, and another girl appears to be walking through a simulated winter environment complete with snowflakes. Several of the men are posed with the accoutrements of their profession (soldier, clergyman, etc.).
